The movie visits Asuna's time in the game up to the point where she meets and teams up with Kirito. It reveals how Asuna ended up trapped in the game world in the first place and introduces a new character, Mito, her gamer friend from high school who got her into games in the first place. Sword Art Online the Movie -Progressive- Aria of a Starless Night, adapted from the Sword Art Online – Progressive spinoff novels, goes back to the beginning to tell the story from Asuna's point of view. She teaches him the value of love and companionship as he becomes a more rounded person. His journey is to go from an introverted, antisocial loner to a leader with a band of trusted friends, mostly through the influence of Asuna. Kirito was an early player of the game during beta and used his knowledge of the system to level up faster and become more powerful in the game to survive.
The heroes of the story are a player named Kirito and his partner-turned-girlfriend Asuna. Anyone who dies in-game will die in real life, their comatose bodies shutting down. The only way for players to escape the game is to level up skills and armor and fight their way to the top of the world and defeat the final boss. When the new VRMMORPG game Sword Art Online launched, the players found themselves trapped in the new VR world with no way to log out. Sword Art Online is set in a near-feature where MMORPGs have advanced to include Virtual Reality where players can wear VR headsets to experience their favourite games in VR and feel like they're meeting their friends and fellow players in a setting that feels real.
